Camera Exposure: A lens of focal length 45 mm is mounted on a 35-mm camera. The lens aperture is set at f/2.0 and the shutter speed set at 1/2000 s. The photographer wants to keep the same exposure (amount of light), but wants to change the f-number to f/8.0 for greater depth of field. What should be the new shutter speed to maintain the same exposure?

A. 1/1000 s B. 1/500 s C. 1/4000 s D. 1/8000 s E. 1/125 s

Heat is transferred at a rate of 0.1 kW through glass wool insulation (density = 100 kg/m3 ) with a 5 cm thickness and 2 m2 area. If the hot surface is at 70°C, determine the temperature of the cooler surface.

GIVEN
• Glass wool insulation with a density (?) = 100 kg/m3
• Thickness (L) = 5 cm = 0.05 m
• Area (A) = 2 m2
• Temperature of the hot surface (Th) = 70°C
• Rate of heat transfer (qk) = 0.1 kW = 100 W
FIND
• The temperature of the cooler surface (Tc)
ASSUMPTIONS
• One dimensional, steady state conduction
• Constant thermal conductivity
